Focus | Rights Lens | Results Lens | Relationship Lens | Reputation Lens --- | --- | --- | --- | --- Clarify Intentions: Seek the truth - What do I really want? What am I trying to accomplish? | Why am I making this choice? | What do I really want and need to be happy? | How do I use my power and resources fairly? | What kind of character do I want to develop? Caring for Others: Seek that which is good | How can I treat others as they want to be treated? | How can I treat others with respect? | How can I care for those with no power or resources? | For whom am I a role model? Ethical elegance : Harmonize truth and goodness | Be honest and responsible - even if nobody is watching | Be respectful of others as you seek the greatest good | Be fair in all you do | Be compassionate as you align your values with your core virtues > Our ethical self is shaped every day by the myriads of choices that we make, choices that we don't think of as being ethical, but which contribute to what philosophers call 'our character.'
